Up until now those applying to be drivers for ride-share programs "were only required to give their address, age, driver’s license number, motor vehicle registration and automobile insurance liability."

Effective this Tuesday "those applying to be ride-share drivers [must] provide their full name and social security number, as well as their date of birth" along with prior requested information.

Ride-share drivers, by law, are now being "held to the same standard that other licensed transportation services have been held to for years.”

Good, as they should be.

Honestly, I can't believe it wasn't done in the first place when these programs started.

I'm glad though it has been made law now and everyone applying must abide by it.
